Sources have told the Verge that Bezos and co have "shown an interest in... an on-demand service that sounds pretty similar to Spotify". Details seem scant—to be honest, even that's generous—but despite talks being described as "informal" the sources claim that Amazon is keen to enter the sector.

If the rumor's true, it's not the only company with a desire to muscle in on the territory of Spotify, Rdio and Rhapsody: Google and Apple are also, reportedly, working on their own, similar, projects. That make it seems like there's a race between the big three to produce something that can rival—in fact, more realistically, beat—Spotify at its own game.
